Wyoming

Wyoming is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

Based on analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, Wyoming's population is estimated at around 10,039 as of November 2025. This reflects a decrease of 72 people (0.7%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 10,111 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 10,041 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest Estimated Resident Population data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 5 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,406 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Population growth for the suburb was primarily driven by overseas migration during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Considering the projected demographic shifts, over this period, projections indicate a decline in overall population, with Wyoming's population expected to decline by 109 persons by 2041 according to this methodology. However, growth across specific age cohorts is anticipated, led by the 85 and over age group, which is projected to increase by 343 people.

The level of residential development activity in Wyoming is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

Wyoming has recorded approximately 7 residential properties granted approval annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 39 homes. As of FY26, 2 approvals have been recorded. The average expected construction cost value for new homes in Wyoming is $268,000, which is below regional levels, indicating more affordable housing choices for buyers. This year has seen $2.2 million in commercial approvals, suggesting minimal commercial development activity compared to Greater Sydney, where development activity is 80.0% higher per person.

The area's constrained new construction typically reinforces demand and pricing for existing properties, which is also below the national average, suggesting an established market with potential planning limitations. New building activity in Wyoming consists of approximately 88.0% detached houses and 12.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the area's suburban identity and concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. The location has around 1542 people per dwelling approval, indicating an established market with stable or declining population forecasts, which may lead to less housing pressure and favourable conditions for buyers in the future.

Given stable or declining population forecasts, Wyoming may experience less housing pressure, creating favourable conditions for buyers.

However, professional & technical services employ just 6.6% of local workers, below Greater Sydney's 11.5%. Employment opportunities locally may be limited, as indicated by the Census working population vs resident population count. Between June 2024 and June 2025, employment levels increased by 1.9%, labour force grew by 2.7%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.8 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment grow by 2.6%, labour force expand by 2.9%, with unemployment rising by 0.3 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Sep-22 suggest potential future demand within Wyoming. These projections estimate national employment to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with growth rates varying significantly between industry sectors. Applying these projections to Wyoming's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.8% over five years and 14.2% over ten years.
